Safarudin (1982) mentioned the occurrence of
planktonic foraminifers in the lower and upper part of
the formation. The foraminifers iin the lower part of
formation indicate N15 N 16 age whereas those in the
upper part indicate N15 N18 age. Fossils of upper
bathyal environment were also found i.e. Gyrodina sp
and Epinedes sp.

Formation and is disconformably overlain by theTapak
Formation.

name was used by Haar (1934), Hetzel (1935) and
van Bemmelen (1949).
